Donnie Brown Weddings & Events

Feb 2023

We did his lawncare for a few months at his personal house in plano. Keep saying he would pay. We finally stopped service. We did a polite back and forth a few times about reminder on the invoices then he just stopped responding. I guess he blocked the number. Never got paid 175.00 ( 5 separate lawncare trips over the course of a few months) that was over a yr ago.Anyone with this kind of dishonestly shouldn’t be trusted. Then upon looking at all the people that say he defrauded them on his reviews it made sense. Bad you have to do this to guys cutting your yard in 100 degree heat. Please beware

My husband and I hired Donnie to be the decorator for our wedding, and due to all of the problems with him and the eventual failure on his part to provide services, my husband documented everything, a portion of which, I have provided below. Donnie Brown, the man who was on WFAA Channel 8 News for creating a 2 million dollar wedding dress and currently has a full page ad in the most recent edition of Modern Luxury Weddings Dallas, has officially committed fraud with respect to our wedding. Our wedding was on Saturday, October 19th. Donnie did not provide nearly $10,000 worth of services, and the day after our wedding he had the nerve to charge our account almost $500 without our authorization. Meaning that he kept our payment information on file without our knowledge or authorization. His assistant at the time, Heather Bradford, took our payment information and did not properly secure our financial information allowing him to have free access to our account at any time. I texted and called her multiple times to give her a chance to tell her story. She will not respond. We are already refuting this and will be taking legal action against both of them, but please read on for the whole story. I documented each red flag as they occurred in order to keep an accurate timeline. Also, for the accusations provided below we either have hard proof in emails, text, phone logs and pictures or we have a witness to the event. I thought Donnie was difficult to deal with but would still deliver on his contractual obligations, not break his contract and steal money out of our account. If you want someone who is trustworthy and transparent, Donnie Brown is NOT who you want to deal with. Donnie will make you feel as if he is adding tremendous value when in reality he is really a con man. On several occasions he has lied to us but we had paid soooo much money already that I politely continued to deal with him to make sure that our wedding would still come together as envisioned. One of the hardest things to do is to continue to deal with someone who is swindling you out of money and you know it especially for such an important day- at the end of the day making my future wife happy was my top priority. After our reception and when we got home, I letHeather and Donnie know that we will be taking legal action for services not rendered. If it wasn't for our venue coordinator (TJ Land with the Room on Main), our wedding planner (Carol Hampton with The Date) and our florist (Michele Rochon), who all pulled together and each did work that was well beyond what we had compensated them for, to make up for Donnie's failures and ensure that our day was still incredible, it would've been a disaster. Also, because Donnie screwed up sooo badly, he is banned from doing any business in any of the venues associated with our venue. The day after our wedding he charged an additional $478 to our account without our authorization. Now he has committed fraud. We obviously have the reception well documented and the actual contract, so it is easy to see what contractual obligations he did not fulfill. We are already refuting our payments. If you have ever thought about doing business with Donnie Brown, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. And if you are already working with him, request an itemization of your bill. This is a man that has zero ethics, zero professionalism and is willing to even steal money from his clients.

Donnie, Heather, and Stephanie are obviously amazing planners (see the pictures) but more than that they are good people. Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful for some, for me it was easy and I feel like I made 3 good friends along the way. Donnie Brown Weddings planned and designed every aspect of my engagement party and wedding. During my planning process I became very ill, I really thought that all my wedding dreams and plans were not going to come true. Donnie and his team stepped in and made sure all my vendors were informed about my situation and they immediately began the process to make sure my wedding would be just as fabulous despite the heckup in our plans. My wedding was this past June and it was the best day of my life. People are still talking about how amazing it was. Hiring Donnie Brown Weddings is an easy choice. You'll have so much fun during your planning process. I am already thinking of my next party so I can use their services again. :)
